If you are new to the course, please review the course description and risk assessment. Here is the course route - includes download links for GPS enabled computers.

This is the last evening event in our time trial series. The next event will be on Saturday 2nd September at 9.00am, and is on the Brogborough course. However, this course may not be available owing to traffic lights - if so, we will once again use the Stony course. Following the cancellation of the Club 10 mile Championship event on 9th August owing to flooding, the Championship will be held on the Stoke Hammond course on 9th September, starting 9am.

Results

We had a good turnout of 16 riders tonight. Dry weather and quite warm. Another good ride from Barry to take the win.

This evening we used the original start point, since the traffic calming thing gives right of way to traffic heading away from Stony Stratford, but moved the finish line south of the traffic calming. AFAIK, this didn't cause problems and is the same start/finish as used by Team MK on this course.
